3 Practices for Healing Your Root Issues

Have you ever heard someone say, “let’s get to the root cause of the situation?”

That simply means, let’s look at the origin of the symptoms of a situation. It’s the “cause” part of cause and effect. In the same way, we can all experience symptoms that cause us physical and emotional pain, and too often we are focused on treating the symptom and not dialing into the root issue.

When you only look at the symptom, the root issue will many times impede any possible growth or worse yet, create another symptom in place of the old one.

For example, the root issue of fear can cause a variety of symptoms such as anxiety, overwhelm, depression, and emotional eating. If you try to solely control and heal anxiety without addressing its source, it may come back in different ways or never be eliminated at all.

This is why the health and wellness industry is filled with thousands of people passionate about helping others heal their root issues and eliminate symptoms completely. It usually takes some introspection and someone to guide you through a practice in order to identify a root issue behind a symptom. There’s always more underneath the surface that the mind may not want to bring to light.

With the help of a professional, you can safely explore your root issues while finding ways to heal them. There are wonderful practices you can invest in to heal them, and we’ll discuss some of those options in this article.

Here are 3 Practices for Healing Your Root Issues:

  1. Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is best described as guided hypnosis, it’s a trance-like state of concentration that you can achieve with the help of a clinical hypnotherapist. Don’t worry, this isn’t a “cluck like a chicken” kind of thing. It feels very similar to when you’re absorbed in a good book, lost in a song, or find yourself deep in thought. It allows you to focus 100% of your attention inward to connect with your body’s natural resources and intuition to make changes and heal root issues.

  1. Meditation

Meditation has been practiced by millions of people all around the world to help them focus on a particular thought or activity while controlling their emotional state. It can be used to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and many other self-destructive thought patterns that can roam in the mind. When using meditation to address a root issue the mind can be retrained to approach the situation differently and take a different response.

  1. Counseling

Working with the right counselor can help you unlock how to heal your root issues and stop your symptoms once and for all. Just like hypnotherapy, counselors can specialize in root issues to better serve people with specific concerns. Counseling can be individual or in a group setting to best fit the needs of a client. Finding the right counselor will create a safe space for someone to dig past their symptoms and bring their root issues to light in order to heal them.

Whichever you decide to invest in, understanding the root issues behind your symptom is key to moving past those symptoms that are holding you back or keeping you down.
